Maintenance; Service - Jøtul C 620 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Practical tip: Chop the wood into much smaller pieces and use
an extra fi relighter.
NB: If the stove has not been used for some considerable
time, it is important to check the chimney pipe for blockage.

6.0 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the glass
Some soot will always stick to the glass, but the quantity will
depend on the local draught conditions and adjustment of
the air vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off
when the air vent is opened all the way and a fi re is burning
briskly in the fi replace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel
with warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber.
Rub it over the glass and then clean the glass with clean water.
Dry well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly
we recommend using a glass cleaner (follow the instructions
on the bottle).
6.2 Removing the ashes
• Only remove ashes when the fi replace is cold.
• Use a showel to scrape the ashes out, but always leave
a little ash at the bottom of the combustion chamber as a
protective insulating layer.
• Ashes should be placed outside in a metal container.
6.3 Cleaning and soot removal
Soot deposits may build up on the internal surfaces of the
fi replace during use. Soot is a good insulator and will therefore
reduce the fi replace's heat output. If soot deposits accumulate
when using the product, they can be easily removed by using
a soot remover.
In order to prevent a water and tar layer from forming in the
fi replace you should regularly allow the fi re to burn hot in order
to remove the layer. An annual internal cleaning is necessary
to get the best heating eff ect from the product. It is a good idea
to do this in connection with the sweeping of the chimney and
fl ue pipes.
6.4 Sweeping of fl ue pipes to the
chimney
Flue pipes must be swept through the fl ue pipe sweeping
hatch or through the product's door opening. Then, the baffl e
and exhaust defl ector must be removed.
6.5 Inspection of the fi replace
Jøtul recommends that you personally inspect your fi replace
carefully after sweeping/cleaning. Check all visible surfaces
for cracks. Also check that all joints are sealed and that the
gaskets are in the correct position. Any gaskets showing signs
of wear or deformation must be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the gasket grooves, apply ceramic glue
(available from your local Jøtul dealer), and press the gasket
well into place. The joint will dry quickly.
6.6 Exterior maintenance
Painted products may change colour after several years
usage. The surface should be cleaned and brushed free of
any loose particles before new paint is applied.
Important! Never place anything on the top plate of the
stove. This could cause permanent damage to the paint
or enamel.
